this will be the event they feared irene will be. it will be worse than the event they thought irene might be. it's an incredible storm. it is a hurricane right now, it is gaining energy from the warm water source it has here. but it is going to be tobegin a process of gaining energy from a cold air mass here across parts toward the eastern u.s., that combination will cause the storm to explode in its intensity. it is very strong. it is going to cause it to expand in its wind field. so we are talking about multi-facets to the storm. one is the rain. we are seeing the rain here across parts of the outer bank, with 5, 6 inches falling. but many areas will see 5 to 10 inches of rain. so there will be a lot of inland flooding. and the storm surge is the most deadly thing that comes from any kind of tropical storm. when have you a hurricane that comes into jersey, that puts the biggest and worst of the storm surge here to that upside-down l-shape. the water has nowhere to go and it causes potentially catastrophic flooding in new york city

already yesterday afternoon it was looking so much worse then that it was at the peak of hurricane irene. so that's why we are under a mandatory evacuation order. i have not seen just driving around hardly anybody out on these roads. that's exactly what we want to be seeing. just look at this water. it is still coming in. this wind when it comes in, it's blowing your car around. you just can't be driving through stuff like this. so high winds, lots of rain. i couldn't quite hear what you said but high winds, lots of rain. it's only going to be getting worse. if you're able to watch this from home, just stay there. you're in the best place to do it. we have businesses boarded up, folks staying in. most of the electricity is still on. we haven't seen a lot of power outages here in this part of rehoboth beach just yet. of course that could certainly change as hurricane sandy barrels even closer towards us. back to you guys. >> good advice right now as you still have power to power up all of those cell phones, smartphones, everything. good advice. live in rehoboth beach, delaware. >>> koim i

part of it is because there were so many spectators out here for irene and they don't want that again when you could be dealing with a once if a century sort of storm. look at that break. oh, my gosh. that's what you would see surfers going through, those little tubes. i don't even know the proper terminology for that. i mean, we've just been seeing set after set of incredible waves out here. in terms of what we're seeing like damage, stuff like that, no real huge trees down. no power lines down, at least right here in the boardwalk area. we know we're seeing it up and down more on the bay side again. it's just the story right now is the waves. we've got a good amount of rain. it's definitely blowing in my face. we're getting some good stronger gusts of wind. but sustained winds, they don't feel too bad. it still feels more like a tropical storm than a hurricane. of course that's because hurricane sandy still several hundred miles away from us here. let's just go back to the boardwalk real quick. i'll show you some of the businesses that -- how they're dealing with this storm. you can
